Load Layers from SGS

You can load any layer type from SkylineGlobe Server: 3DML, elevation, feature, imagery, point cloud, or raster complex. These layers are added to the side toolbar’s Layers tab. Feature layers with complex geometries, i.e., multi-polygons, multi-lines, and multi-points, are supported.

You must be logged in to SkylineGlobe Server to load a layer. More about: Logging in to SkylineGlobe Server >
